This blog is the place where I post reviews of the books I have read. I review audiobooks, regular books and eBooks for authors and publishers as well as any other book or audiobook that catches my eye.

* I received a free copy of this book through the Goodreads Giveaway program. A review is not a requirement to receive a book, but an honest review is always appreciated.

Basil is a dog.

Matilda loves to dress Basil up.

Basil is a Labrador and looks ridiculous dressed up in clothes and costumes.

When Matilda’s Mom takes the kids to the zoo, she attempts to relate to the children how ridiculous the animals would look if they wore costumes.

But, will Matilda take the lesson to heart? Or will she continue to use Basil as her own personal dress-up doll?

This book is terrific for ages 3-5. The large size of the pages and the bright coloured illustrations will capture any child’s attention. The rhyming writing makes the story flow very well and lends itself perfectly to reading it out-loud to children. In my opinion, this would be a perfect bedtime story.

Parents will love the book for its perfect length as well as the message it contains about respecting animals.
